The book features: Common expressions are batched into 350 themes, ranging from general greetings and asking how someone is, to the more specific needs, like showing disbelief, asking someone’s intentions, and expressions for a forgotten word or name A comprehensive thematic glossary provides an additional means for the learner to locate expressions by key words and concepts Topics include: Basic Social Encounters, Greetings, Small Talk, Introductions, Ending a Conversation, Good-Byes, Agreeing, Disagreeing Conversational Encounters, Focusing Attention, Launching the Conversation, Making Friends, Complex Matters, Disputes, Discussion and Resolution, Polite Encounters, Prefaces, Communication Barriers

Review: Perfect for ESL - This is the language we need to be teaching foreigners from the start! It's not beginner English. It's survival English!! It's what they need to live in the US without being held hostage by their native tongue. Good for anyone, not for just a Spanish speaker, Asian language speaker, etc. My first student was Armenian, working in a kitchen making less than minimum wage. Once he began speaking in English vernacular, working conditions improved. That's a true testament to this book!
Review: Great purchase - Used this book for tutoring Basic ESL conversation., Very helpful.

Used this book for tutoring Basic ESL conversation., Very helpful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Out of date
*by J***M on May 11, 2020*

nice approach to contextual learning no doubt. I'm a 29-year-old native English speaker and a lot of the phrases are so old that I've never heard of them before. i think that really hurts the usefulness of this book, however i like the approach. so buy it and add a few or take a few phrases out and you are good.
